Harvest Weekend in Napa

We spent this weekend -- like the many before -- in Napa. The only difference was we mixed in a bit of play this weekend as well. Friday evening we joined a few friends for a Harvest dinner sponsored by ZD Wines. Held at the Carneros Inn, the evening went a long way in reminding us why we've been putting in hours of work on the renovations. The good news is...with the house in mid-renovation a few miles away, we restrained from purchasing any wine over the weekend. And for those of you who have spent time in Napa, you know this is difficult to do when "tasting".

During the day, we continued our quest to re-paint the entire house -- one room at a time. The living room and downstairs bedrooms are now done...just in time for the wood floors to be installed. For those of you who plan to paint anytime soon, the only feasible way to reach vaulted ceilings (or the wall over the stairs) is with a Little Giant ladder. A big shout out and thanks to Chris for letting us borrow his ladder.

The upstairs is also nearly complete! (Wahooooo!) New carpet was installed on Friday. Walking bare foot without fear of catching a disease is really very exciting. Believe it or not, it is actually starting to look like a real house.
